Anthony M. Horn
Seaman Third Class
U.S. Navy
World War II
Mr. Horn was still a senior in high school when he enlisted in the Navy in 1943.
On the USS Cacapon, a fleet tanker, Mr. Horn became the tailor on board because the original tailor had gotten sick and was sent home. He had his own private room filled with supplies, all because he was the ships tailor.
In Mr. Horn’s case, his ship would be at the battle sites before the battles occurred. The reason being his ship refueled all of the ships that went into battle, so his ship was there to make sure that all of the ships were completely refueled.
